As Adam Early in the Morning

by Walt Whitman.

As Adam early in the morning,
Walking forth from the bower refresh'd with sleep,
Behold me where I pass, hear my voice, approach,
Touch me, touch the palm of your hand to my body as I pass,
Be not afraid of my body.

 

from Children of Adam: Leaves of Grass BOOK IV. by Walt Whitman
Facing West from California's Shores	In Paths Untrodden
